Scrooby Congregation

The Scrooby Congregation was an English Protestant separatist church near Scrooby, on the outskirts of Bawtry, a small market town at the border of Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. In 1607/1608 the congregation emigrated to the Netherlands in search of the freedom to worship without conforming to the Church of England. They founded the "English separatist church at Leiden", one of several English separatist groups in the Dutch Republic at the time.
